White House counselor Kellyanne Conway on Sunday pushed back on Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.), saying that the women who have accused President Trump of sexual misconduct “have had their day.”
“Those accusers have had their day on your network and elsewhere for a long time. They were tried out again late last year,” Conway told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on “This Week.”
Conway was responding to a tweet from Gillibrand, who said Congress could hold hearings about sexual misconduct allegations against him if Trump wanted due process for those accused of abuse.

White House staff secretary Rob Porter stepped down from his post on Wednesday after abuse allegations from his two ex-wives surfaced. Chief of staff John Kelly reportedly knew for months that Porter had not obtained a full security clearance due to the allegations.
The president tweeted Saturday that “lives are being shattered … by a mere allegation.”
